The head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees said on Monday that the agency’s “assets have become obsolete”, and that it needs $50-80m to keep services running until the end of the year.
Speaking from Amman, UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said the agency has experienced “years of austerity” and needs a capital investment of $200m in the next three years to help restore depleted assets.
